Starting the engine with a weak battery

WARNING!

Lead-acid batteries generate explosive gases. Keep sparks, flame and smoking materials away from batteries. Always wear eye protection when around batteries.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Your mower is equipped with a 12-volt negative grounded system. The other vehicle must also be a 12-volt negative grounded system. Do not use your mower to start other vehicles.

If your battery is too weak to start the engine, it should be recharged. (See “Battery” in the Maintenance Section.)

If “jumper cables” are used for emergency starting, follow this procedure:

Jumper cables	8011-642
	Jumper cable connection

•Connect each end of the RED cable to the POSITIVE (+) terminal on each battery, taking care not to short against chassis.

•Connect one end of the BLACK cable to the NEGATIVE (-) terminal of the fully charged battery.

•Connect the other end of the BLACK cable to a good CHASSIS GROUND on the mower with the discharged battery, away from the fuel tank and battery.

To remove cables, reverse order

•Remove BLACK cable first from chassis and then from the fully charged battery.

•Remove RED cable last from both batteries.
